Start with 2 eggs in a bowl.

Add some water to the eggs.

Follow with flour and a pinch of salt.

Add some oil to the mixture.

Blend the mixture for about 10 seconds to prevent clumping.

Check the consistency using the spoon test.

Preheat a pan over medium heat and add a little oil.

Add approximately 2 teaspoons of batter to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.

Cook for approximately 1 minute or until the batter releases from the pan.

Flip the crepe and cook for about another minute until it has a little color.

Optionally, add 1 tablespoon of freshly diced cilantro to half the crepes.

For assembly, put about 2 tablespoons of meat sauce in the crepe just off center and roll it up.
